Reach is right around the corner, and you know what that means, the time for Mythic ODST is running short! With only a few months left until the release of the highly anticipated Halo: Reach, we're now kicking Mythic into high gear in oder to churn out the ODST walkthrough over the summer to give Halo fans everywhere a better chance at conquering one of the greatest games of all time on the hardest setting ever recognized by the community.
Stay tuned for more!
--------------------------------------------------------------
I'd also like to take the time to thank Bungie for the massive support they've shown towards our community, and a special thanks to both Tom and Urk who went out of their way to make it all possible. You guys rock :-)
Thank you, Louis (HBO Head Honcho), for not just hosting one, but rather [i]two[/i] of my Mythic walkthroughs and making it easier for players around the globe to get a better grasp of the Mythic Challenge. Couldn't have done it without you!
And also a big thanks to AJ at Halocharts for implementing Mythic into his epic campaign challenges. Those shiney new Mythic medals are items that our conquerors wear with pride and still are a major incentive for those who are currently still getting their feet wet in the ocean of Mythic greatness before them.
You guys are ALL awesome :-)[/quote]

[u][b]Take the "Mythic Challenge" Today![/b][/u]
What exactly is Mythic difficulty? Completing the campaign on Legendary, all 13 skulls activated, scoring enabled, and making it from start to finish on each individual mission without dying. This applies to both Solo Mythic and co-op (aka Multi-Mythic).
My Halo 3 Mythic Walkthrough is now available to view on [url=http://halo.bungie.org/]HBO's[/url] website. This guide includes a text-based walkthrough of each segment of all nine missions and contains videos of all critcal areas. All nine videos will remain on my file share. A special thanks goes out to Louis Wu for not only hosting the walkthrough on his site, but also for all the hard work he has put into cleaning up my Mythic guide mess and turning it into something legable XD All nine missions are available on his site along with videos of all criticals areas and even a special "Tips" section to help get you started.
[b]Coming Soon![/b]
[b]Mythic 2.0[/b] is now on the horizon. New strategies are being implemented into most of the missions in order to provide you easier avenues of success on your Mythic quest. These "upgrades" are not meant to fully take the place of the original walkthrough, but rather enhance it. Each 2.0 Strategy Guide will contain step by step instructions on the altered strategies, and a full file share video will be included as well. Look for the "2.0 Guide" link below each each mission to simplify [i]your[/i] experience! :-)
And now I give you...

Also, be sure to check out the [i]massive[/i] update given to the walkthrough pages courtesy of Louis Wu. Now reading and viewing at the same time is easier than ever!

The above group was recently created for all Mythic completers as well as people who are in the proccess of performing their own quest. You [u]MUST[/u] have at least one Mythic level under your belt and in your fileshare to be considered for membership. This provides an easier way of keeping track of stats. Read the rules BEFORE posting!

Taking it up a notch, watch as Team Mythic Alpha fights for first place titles in the Multi-Mythic Marathon (Coop + Legendary + all skulls + scoring + zero deaths/saves).
[quote][/quote]
[b]FAQ[/b]
Q. What is Mythic??
A. Solo Legendary All Skulls On with zero deaths and zero saves. Each mission must be run from start to finish without dying, saving, or quitting.
Q. What is the difference between Mythic Difficulty and SLASO?
A. Not much. However SLASO simply defines the game as being played solo legendary all skulls on. Mythic, however, states that there must be zero deaths and zero saves per mission, thereby making Mythic a far greater and more specific challenge. The same rules apply to co-op in the sense that no player may die in order to successfully complete the mission on Co-op Mythic.
Q. Is there any special ending for beating the game on Mythic?
A. No. It's the same as the Legendary ending. I imagine the people who would've been able to witness a Mythic ending would have been too few for such an effort. Bungie knew this.
Q. Do you get any new armor or reward for beating it on Mythic?
A. No. You do not unlock anything simply for beating the game on Mythic. That is unless you have yet to beat the game just on Legendary in which you would obtain the normal achievements associated with it.
Q. Do I have to have the silver skulls on for it to count as Mythic?
A. Yes. All skulls means [u]ALL[/u] skulls.
Q. Can I have a friend help me complete the game on Mythic?
A. Well then it wouldn't be solo Mythic now would it?
Q. Do you have to turn on campaign scoring?
A. I've decided to update this to cause less confusion. In a word... yes. While it doesn't effect game-play directly, it's the simplest way to prove your success to the rest of the world and is a [i]requirement[/i] to become a member of the Quest for Mythic group.
Q. What are the "Kamikaze" videos?
A. A separate, speedier, and more skillful avenue for certain areas of the game. Just like the "Slow & Steady" methods, they have been tested multiple times and are proven to work. However they do require excellent reaction time, a vast knowledge of the road ahead, and a fair bit of experience with Mythic.
Q. Why was I rejected from your group?
A. Simply put, read the rules. 99.9% of the time, it's because you haven't completed a Mythic level with scoring on and uploaded it to your file share. This [i]must[/i] be done in order to gain acceptence into the Mythic group.

To be honest, I really think it's time to let this thread die. It's served it's time. It's lasted longer than any other thread here. I'm pretty sure it's lasted about 4 years. I remember first taking up the quest when I was 13, heh, quite a long time ago.
I don't see anyone coming along now and taking up this challenge. Let it go down in history. Here's hoping we can have a thread like this when Halo 4 comes around.
I've had so many memories with this game. I still remember finishing The Ark for the first time. Finishing Co-Op with Gazas. Earning Recon from it.
Four years has gone fast.
See you all on the other side.

Well Reach forced me to skip a lot of Battles so I prefer the encounters in Halo 3.[/quote]The first tower on The Covenant was one example of punishment. Leave them all behind and they'll be waiting for you when you come down.
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AlpineFroggy
Halo 3' seemed to be take it slow and you basically could take out everything in most battles but reaches you couldn't just straight up pepper you needed some sort of cover otherwise you'd die.[/quote]I think both required cover. It's just that you got hit a lot more in Reach due to the projectile speed increase and insane enemy rof.

i think H3 was more true Mythic for one reason cause no health packs. you really have to bash your way back to health.
however, reach made up for having health packs by making us pepper the baddies to get down the shields which took more skill.
[/quote]Hmm... which one had the better encounters? I think AI are as essential.

The fact that the list keeps growing....wow.
I miss Halo 3 a lot now, I'm so gonna revisit it on this level of difficulty. Maybe not all skulls but you know..[/quote]Which Mythic difficulty do you guys think feels more smoother and polished: H3 or Reach?

Sir,
I am pleased to inform that H3 Mythic Quest (9/9) is complete.
[/quote]To render all those videos... and to have spent that much time on those levels for a slow and steady methodical approach (my kind of strategy. I'm watching Sierra 117 right now btw). That's a lot of dedication and very admirable. Congrats!
[I could never do H3 SLASO, other than Floodgate. And this is coming from someone who practices H2 SLASO and H1 SLASO (without Bandanna) strategies as his way of living.][/quote]
100% Congratulations on your monumental accomplishment! List has been updated. Welcome to our Mythic ranks :-)

i have found a ALMOST RISK FREE way to waste those 2 ghosts that you have to deal with on slaso on THE ARK where the guide says park by the rock. i wanted a less risky way cause i have one level OF slaso left to slay and it is THE ARK so i wanted less risk of iron granting me a muligan. evidently given time the battle will play out where either the brute has no armor or he is dead and the 2 ghosts are left 90% of the time with those few shielded jackals.if the brute is left just head shot him. i went threw this like 50 times and it was always the same.
notice also i threw in a primo slide jump and a way at the end to CREATE pet jackals. evidently the shock of a grenade will scare them into overcharging and vioala a litter of pets for shields. enjoy

[url]http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=123610739[/url][/quote]Fixed that for you. And neat!
Btw it should be possible to get a headshot on a Grunt in a Ghost when he's facing you.
